Growing up

sunlight streaming from behind dense trees, a park Launceston, Tasmania — Launceston, Tasmania

Peek-a-boo plays sun,
shunting doubtful clouds aside,
bright new day at work.

Resistance

winter morning frost on flowers

Standing up to time,
butterfly-winged spring petals,
blooming in winter.

Silent stalker

morning fog over the Launceston as seen in the distance with the sun lightly visible — Foggy mornings in Launceston

Casting shadows far,
eagle over an anthill,
fog rolls above town.

Competing

view of the ocean in the distance and grassy path closeby with white clouds gathering overhead

Chasing their own tails,
bounding onto luscious fields,
ocean’s athletes, clouds.

Warm glow

Photo of a snakeskin discarded by the side of a wooden walkway over the Tamar river

Summertime basking,
slithering along the edge—
sweat beads on eyebrows.
